Hokage Doujin - Spring Water Ding Dong

"Pfft—" He was defeated again, and the spring bamboo that rushed several feet away covered his chest, unable to swallow the fishy sweetness that rushed out of his throat, and spat it all out.

"Little Bamboo!" Mizumon was preoccupied with himself, but was distracted by Izumi Bamboo. If he didn't pay attention, he couldn't dodge Nine-Tails' attack, and was thrown far away. Fortunately, there were psychic beasts who intercepted him in time. It didn't fall too hard.

Minato got up, and before he could stand still, Izumizu raised his knife and charged in front of Kyuubi. After a few rounds, but due to the serious injury, he was already inferior in skills, and only adding injuries did not heal.Kyuubi, on the other hand, seems to have a steady stream of power because it keeps creating chakra by itself. Compared with Izumitake, who is already exhausted, he has the upper hand without any suspense.

Seeing this, Minato was a little dazed, and suddenly remembered the battle with Maomata a few years ago.At that time, Minato was too painful to move due to the alcohol injury, so he had to stand by and watch Izumi Zhu in danger of dying.But now he is fighting with Kyuubi again, the two extremely similar scenes overlapped together, Minato saw it, and felt that a string in his brain was 'broken' - this time, he didn't want to Seeing the people who care about being hurt like that - besides, this time they are facing a nine-tailed demon fox, if this continues, I am afraid that Quanzhu will really die.

"I can't go on like this anymore..." Muttering, Minato tried desperately to calm himself down, thought of a countermeasure, and at the same time did not dare to slack off in his actions, and rushed towards Izumizhu quickly, stopping Kyuubi's attack , Helping Quanzhu reduce the chance of being injured once.

"Cough cough..." I don't know how many ribs have been broken, maybe even injured internal organs, Quan Zhu knelt on the ground, curled up in pain, and coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood.

"Xiaozhu, are you okay?" Quickly hugging Quanzhu aside, Minato nervously checked Quanzhu's condition.

"Of course it won't be very good." Quanzhu smiled feebly, and took the hand of Minato on his shoulder, "But I won't die for a while." That being said, after a long time Keeping in the state of 卍半, Quan Zhu has gradually felt exhausted, if she really continues like this, maybe she will die soon.

"..." Hearing this, Minato remained silent, but stretched out his hand to stop the stream of blood that was flowing from the corner of Quanzhu's mouth.

Minato's heart suddenly calmed down, so quiet that there was only one sentence in his mind--I really want everything to end immediately.

Standing up slowly, Minato looked back not far away. There, many ninjas in the village were still desperately fighting with Nine Tails, in order to prevent Nine Tails Demon Fox from hurting his companions again and preventing it from destroying the village. To prevent him from hurting the people he cares about the most.

Looking at these, for a moment, Minato felt the weight of the Hokage cloak he was wearing:

——It turns out that in the face of the danger of life and death, the person who has the least right to have nostalgia for this world is Hokage.

"Soon, everything will end." This sentence is soft and soft, but it contains all of Minato's love and reluctance, his dream, his concern... At this moment, how can I let it go, how can I not let it go lay down.

"Shuimen?" Quanzhu raised his head when he heard the words, a little puzzled and a little uneasy.

"Xiaozhu, can you bring Naruto to my side?" Facing Izumitake's doubts, Minato smiled, indifferent and full of affection.

"...'Naruto'?" Quanzhu was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head and asked.

"Well, it's my son, his name is 'Uzumaki Naruto'." Minato replied lightly.

"I've already decided on a name... But, 'Whirlpool'?!" Quan Zhu frowned, very puzzled.

"Well, Uzumaki Naruto."

However, within a few seconds, Minato lingered a few times, and then turned around and returned to the psychic beast Toad's back: "Wentai, I want to use the sealing technique."

"'Sealing Technique'?!...Could it be—Minato, you boy..." Gamo Wentai was stunned after hearing this, and then was shocked.

"Well, Bunta, help me." Minato felt a little bitter in his heart, but he was also firm and unshakable, "I want to seal the nine tails in Naruto's body."

"Is there... is there no other way?" Mrs. Wen didn't want to see Minato die at such a young age.

Minato didn't answer, but quietly glanced at the companions who had suffered a lot of casualties.

"I see." Wen Tai sighed, "Then, it's up."

"Yeah." Minato nodded, pursed his lips, and began to form a series of strange spells: Si, Hai, Wei, Mao, Xu...

With this notice, Bunta quickly approached Kyuubi so that Minato could be sealed smoothly.

... Zi, You, Wu, Si——

Suddenly, Minato clasped his hands together, and then saw a hideous ghost appearing out of nowhere behind him, it was the god of death in this world that ordinary people couldn't see.

"What is that?" A small baby boy was born from the hands of Anbu who was in charge of protecting Naruto. Izumitake was rushing towards the water gate, and when he looked up, he saw the huge monster behind the water gate—well, yes, although ordinary people can't see it Arrived... But, here is a guy who does not belong to the scope of 'ordinary people', and that is Quanzhu.

"Shuimen." Leaping to the side of the water gate with difficulty, Quanzhu turned her head and stared at the god of death behind the water gate before she could stand still. Her intuition made her immediately ask, "What is this?!"

"Xiaozhu, can you see?! This...is the god of death." Minato was startled at first, but still answered Quanzhu.

"...Reaper?!" This term is so familiar to Quan Zhu, "Where did it come from?!"

"I summoned it." Minato explained.

"You still have this ability... Wait, what kind of spell is this?!" A name suddenly flashed in Quan Zhu's mind, "Could this be the one you mentioned..."

"The ghouls are sealed." Minato smiled bleakly and finished speaking.

"Are you crazy?!" After hearing this, Quanzhu was shocked and almost threw the baby out of his arms. At this time, the baby also cried out very cooperatively. Grabbing Minato's collar, "Isn't this technique at the cost of the caster's own life?! You don't want to die?!"

"Xiaozhu, calm down..." Minato was a little surprised, but still maintained a gentle appearance.

"How do you tell me to calm down?! You hurry to coax this strange thing back to me! If you want to see the god of death, I tell you, I am the god of death! You let it go back! Go back!" Quan Zhu ignored Mizumon's persuasion , tightly tugging on the collar of the water gate and not letting go.

"Oh, let it go back..." Minato couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't expect that Quanzhu could see the god of death, "But, if I don't summon the god of death to seal the nine tails, then the village will suffer. You see Everyone is desperately trying to protect the village and its companions, but nothing has been achieved. Now I have a way to eliminate the threat of Nine Tails in one fell swoop, why not do it? Besides... Xiaozhu, if you continue like this, you will also Not good."

"But... but you are Hokage!" Quan Zhu refused to let go, "If you are gone in the village, what should everyone do?! The old man of the third generation has already been half buried in the ground. Do you still expect him to pick you up? Your class?!"

"Xiaozhu, it would be too rude to say that..." Minato twitched the corners of his mouth, but he couldn't stop the bitterness in his throat. How could he be willing to die young at such a young age, but he was Hokage, "It is precisely because I am Hokage that I should stand in front of everyone and sacrifice myself for the sake of the village... In short, this is what I should do."

"Stop talking nonsense! I won't allow it!" Quanzhu seemed to have recovered from all the pain and regained his strength. He held on to the water gate and did not let go. "This is your village, and everyone is still waiting to see how you manage Konoha. Good! Also, your son is only so young, you are not afraid of what you mean, I will throw him into the forest to feed the wolves?! Besides, Kakashi is still your apprentice, tell me how much you still have Didn’t give it to him?! And... and me... what should I do..." Izumi Takemoto was still very excited, but at the end, he knew that everything was irreversible, and his voice gradually weakened amidst sadness , "Is it, is it because I didn't take care of Qi Nai and didn't let her return to you completely, so you did this... Is it to teach me? I know that I often do some wrong things: at the earliest When I was fighting with that idiot Fugaku, Minato, you scolded me. Later, I unrepentantly fought with the idiot, and got involved with Obito. At that time, Minato, who was always gentle, beat me Your head hurts so much, and then, and... this time, I got rid of Chennai, you must be angry with me, right?! Otherwise, or..."

"Xiaozhu..." Seeing crystals condense in Quanzhu's eyes one after another, and then falling down like a broken thread, Quanzhu in Minato's eyes was crying like a child, seeing Minato well Distressed, but also helpless.

Gritting his teeth, Minato ruthlessly pushed Izumitake away, hugged Naruto instead, and began to perform the spell.

"...Shuimen..." Quan Zhu sat on the ground, crying aggrievedly. Just tonight, she had already lost a very good friend, and now, she will lose again. After Shuo Mao's death, Quan Zhu relied on him the most.

……

'Boom', Minato completed the operation, and the psychic beast Toad Bunta under his feet also disappeared in a puff of smoke because he did not have the support of the psychic's chakra. Lost strength to the water gate, they fell to the cliff below them together.

Finally unable to hold on to the state of swastika, he broke up by himself.Quanzhu suddenly felt very tired, and stubbornly didn't want to break free from the fall: Sakumo died, Yuhika died, Obito died, purple fur fox died, Moonlight Mi died... Now, Minato is leaving too. .Familiar and unfamiliar, what Quanzhu loves and cherishes...Everyone leaves one by one, and in the end only oneself is left...Quanzhu doesn't want to live in memories and nostalgia anymore, doesn't want to be so lonely and lonely anymore. Lonely, such a person is too tired.

Thinking of this, Quanzhu closed his eyes, and the tears in the corners of his eyes were blown away by the wind, some of them flew into the night sky, and some that hadn't flown away were stuck with the scattered hair.

"Xiaozhu." Such a gentle voice, like a dream, Quanzhu opened his eyes, only to find that the place where she was falling was Minato.

"Shuimen..." The wind brought by the fall blows away the teardrops, so that Quanzhu's sight is not blocked, and she can clearly see the gentleness on Minato's face.

"Heh." Minato smiled, and raised his hand, the length of his arm was just enough to reach Izumitake's waist.Minato slowly retracted his arms, just enough to hold Quanzhu in front of him, "Why, you fell too?"

"I... don't want to go back anymore." Quanzhu raised his hand to push away the hair stuck to the corner of his eyes, and replied softly.

"That's not allowed." Minato smiled, and raised his hand to help Izumitake's hair behind his ears, "What about Kakashi?"

"..." Minato's words made Quanzhu wake up like a dream, and suddenly Quanzhu realized how stupid the idea of ​​committing suicide just now was, "I'm sorry."

"Hehe. If you apologize, let Kakashi hear it." Minato smiled again, and then handed the baby boy who was tired from crying in his arms and fell asleep to Izumitake's hands, "Also, from now on, Naruto will Please take care of me... Well, you won't really throw Naruto into the forest like you said just now?!"

"...How could it be possible." Quanzhu curled his lips and took the baby, suddenly he didn't feel the sadness of parting from life and death, but rather the melancholy of a short parting, as if Quanzhu would see Minato again soon.

"That's good." Minato pursed his lips and smiled, "Okay, it's time to send you up. If you fall like this again, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to go up again."

"...Well." Quan Zhu nodded, looking at Minato, still a little bit reluctant.

"Hey, Xiaozhu." Minato pursed her lips, raised her hand again, and gently pressed Quanzhu's cheek.Minato moved his gaze down, and just stopped on Izumi Zhu's pink lips. After a pause, Minato raised his head, but gently kissed the corner of Izumi Zhu's lips, not looking at Izumi Zhu's surprised after feeling the kiss. Looking at it, Minato used the last of his strength to throw Izumi bamboo to a protruding rock obliquely above.

"Xiaozhu, take care." After finishing speaking, seeing it flying away like a leaf, Minato smiled again, with a kind of regretful satisfaction, falling continuously...

"Shuimen?! Water gate——" Quan Zhu, who was safely on the land, just woke up, but he was already powerless to stop the fall of the water gate. He could only watch the golden touch disappear into the night, like a meteor falling.

**

"Kakashi, come here."

A catastrophe is finally over. After a short period of mourning for the people who lost their lives in this catastrophe, Muye Village began to restore and rebuild intensively.

An organization cannot lose its leader, and under the unanimous praise of the villagers, the Third Hokage returned to the position of Hokage.

It was Anbu who helped the third generation of Hokage to clean up the Hokage office together, moving out the items of the fourth generation, and then putting in the items of the third generation.In the cleaning room, it is necessary to rummage through the cabinets and open all the locked or unlocked drawers of the cabinets. At this time, the third generation who also packed things together with several Anbu, after opening the drawers, fell silent for a moment, and called to the side with a solemn expression. Kakashi.

"Yes." Kakashi responded, walked forward, and under the guidance of the third generation, picked up a letter in the drawer that had just been opened, and did not indicate the addressee and writer, and in the third generation's gesture Next, open the envelope, take the letter and read it.

"After reading it, you can dispose of the letter...and this." The third generation seemed to sigh, and then put a delicate and small square box in Kakashi's hand.

"..." It's not that he forgot etiquette, it's just that Kakashi, who has already started reading the letter, has no extra emotion to care about being polite, so he doesn't respond to the third generation's words.

"Hey... I'll wait for you next door." Sandai waved his hand away, shook his head and left with a sigh.

As the foundation of Minato's direct transmission, Kakashi recognized at a glance that the neat and generous characters on the letter paper were written by Minato.I thought that since it was locked in the drawer of Hokage's office, it must be some important letter, but Kakashi never expected that this letter was like a last letter. Why did he say that, because the beginning of the letter had already written: " If this letter sees the sun again, it means that either I am old, or I am dead or she has passed away..."

Read on, this letter is like a love letter, because the rest of the letter records the deep but depressing love of the writer. There are not many words, but the most lingering love is described in the simplest words. The reader cannot help but be moved...

"..." Swallowing the saliva in his mouth subconsciously, after reading the letter, Kakashi only felt a bitter taste in his mouth, but he didn't know how to get rid of this sad taste, so he had to force himself to break away from the emotion in the letter He came out, diverted his attention, lowered his head and gently picked up the box in the hand of the third-generation house.

As if he knew what was in the box early in the morning, Kakashi paused, opened the box, and without hesitation, picked up the ring in the box, held it in front of his eyes, and looked at the sun. A line of small characters was clearly engraved, but the content of the skillful characters was the name of a person Kakashi was familiar with.

Slowly putting down his hand again, Kakashi adjusted his mood, cleared his throat, turned and walked to the next door.

"Hokage-sama." After saluting, Kakashi walked up to Sandai, "My subordinate would like to ask for a half-day leave."

"Well, let's go." Without asking the reason, the third generation directly waved his hand, and then said: "After she calms down, let her come to see me."

"Yes." Kakashi nodded, raised his hand to take off the Anbu mask on his face, and turned to leave.

"Then... what are you going to do with the letter?" San Dai asked.

"... Burn." Kakashi finished, and left in a flash.

"Xiaozhu, so you are here." Retracting the psychic dog, Kakashi adjusted his expression, smiled and walked towards the black shadow huddled on the edge of the cliff.

"You're here." Izumitake turned his head and watched Kakashi sit down beside him, "Anbu's work is over?"

"Not yet." Kakashi shook his head, and after sitting firmly, he began to look for something in his arms, "I asked the third generation to ask for a half-day leave... Speaking of which, this cliff is the place where the teacher fell. .”

"En." Quanzhu retracted his gaze, and once again placed his gaze under the cliff, his eyes staring blankly, as if he could pass through the clouds and mist under the cliff and see the people in the mist.

"I heard that there is a stream of water down here... I'm afraid the teacher has been washed away." Kakashi said while taking out something from his bosom, and handed it to Quan Zhu.

"What is this?" After hesitating, Quan Zhu took it and opened it.

"I found it when I was cleaning Hokage's office. There is your name in the ring." Kakashi stared at the front and said softly, "So, I brought it to you."

"...How could there be my name..." After hearing this, Quanzhu twitched the corners of her mouth and forced a smile. However, when she picked up the ring and looked at the inside of the ring against the sun, the smile immediately disappeared. Pale.Afterwards, Izumitake put down the ring, his fingers trembling a little, but still with a pale smile, he turned to look at Kakashi, "Kakashi, are you joking?! How could this kind of thing appear in Minato's drawer?" ? You must be kidding me."

"..." Kakashi didn't speak, but just looked back at Izumi Zhu, until he saw that the smile on Izumi Zhu's face was gone, and his eyes were broken, and then he said again, "Stop deceiving yourself, Xiaozhu. You should understand, Teacher, he...has always secretly liked you."

Kakashi actually didn't want to be so cruel to Izumitake, but he also felt that it would be too sad for Minato if he didn't tell Izumitake about it. Therefore, Kakashi's burning may make Izumitake even more painful letter, and gave Quanzhu the ring that Minato was supposed to give to Quanzhu.

"If I'm not mistaken." Seeing the world in Izumitake's eyes collapsing, Kakashi said again, "This ring, the teacher bought this ring a year ago, the original teacher wanted to give it to you, but I understand that you are right After the father's love was deep, he didn't open his mouth, so he had to lock the ring together with his love... until now."

"Kakashi...why did you tell me?" Izumi Takeshi looked at Kakashi in a daze, and inadvertently, a tear fell down.

Quanzhu recalled the kiss left on the corner of his mouth before Minato sent him back to the cliff. Quanzhu was only puzzled in his heart, and maybe a little uneasy, but he also struggled, avoided, and turned a blind eye in deception. , Kakashi stubbornly revealed the truth in front of Izumitake's eyes, which was tantamount to dispelling her last struggle, and that little hope completely collapsed.

"...Sorry." Kakashi didn't say much, just raised his hand, and gently embraced Izumitake, who was so fragile at this time, and let him lean on his increasingly broad and strong arms, letting him Drenches his clothing with tears.

Feeling the tears flowing from Izumitake's eyes wet his clothes, Kakashi was twisting in his heart. In the pain, Kakashi tightened his arms, and suddenly understood why both his father and his teacher wanted to Protecting the weeping woman curled up in his arms with both arms——

——Because, this slender body is really too thin.
